Abstract
Des modes de réalisation de linvention concernent des méthodes et des dispositifs qui servent à prévenir ou à traiter chez des mammaliens des troubles des voies respiratoires supérieures liés à un flux dair détérioré. Un aspect de cette invention porte sur un rétracteur de langue qui rétracte indirectement la base de la langue au moyen de son site dimplantation dans la zone du filet. Linsertion, le réglage et lentretien du dispositif sont ainsi simplifiés. Un autre aspect de cette invention a trait à un rétracteur de langue entièrement implantable et à localisation très précise qui est introduit dans la base de la langue pour durcir les muqueuses de surface ou les coupler mécaniquement aux structures internes de la langue. Un aspect différent de linvention a pour objet un rétracteur de langue inséré dans ou autour du pli pharyngolingual. Ce site permet de rétracter et de durcir le tissu de la base de la langue, ainsi que le palais mou et la paroi pharyngienne latérale.
